Hung (ㅥ) was the surname of Kung Fu Tze (more commonly known as Confucius*), my great (x 74) grandfather who lived from 551 - 479 B.C. (obviously in China). Ling (쩙) is the ¨generation name〃. (There were several Chinese kings a long time ago, who wanted to honour Confucius. They composed poems to give all his descendants their middle names, according to their generations. According to the poem, my children…s middle names would be ¨virtue〃.) Chuen (또) is my last name and was chosen by my parents. Now for the definitions: ¨ㅥ, or Hung〃 means great. ¨쩙, or Ling〃 means command. ¨또, or Chuen〃 means to spread good news. Now, the word ¨gospel〃 comes from Greek. Uncoincidentally, that word means ¨good news〃. So my name means: ¨The great (ㅥ) command (쩙) is to spread the gospel (또).〃

*Confucius was a Chinese philosopher who taught things which resembled Christian doctrine. (He taught people to be good. When he was the governor (mayor) of a city in the (ancient) province of Lu, he taught the citizens so well that soon there was so little crime that no one locked their doors at night. He also taught people to live humbly, even though he himself was descended of nobility.) Paraphrased: ¨Things that you don…t want, don…t do to others.〃 (Check out the Analects좰) He taught his pupils and the tuition fees were different for each pupil. If they were rich, they would pay more money, but if they were poor, he would accept something like two strips of dried meat a year (almost nothing). He was an agnostic and told people that he ¨did not know God〃 and therefore he did not teach people about that (because he didn…t know about it and did not want to teach something possibly wrong) and he did not want people to make up their own religion because they might do something wrong. However, some people made something called ¨Confucianism〃, which was more like a way of life, but still, some people ¨worshiped〃 him like some people do to saints (eeek).

Teaches some violin and musical theory

Her university, Cornell University, an Ivy League University, was rated the most stressful university in the whole of the United States a few years ago.

Me: (Age : I was born exactly a century after the Eiffel Tower was opened for the Universal Exposition in Paris.)

Soon a grade 11 gifted student at Lisgar Collegiate Institute (LCI), downtown Ottawa. The school (and subsequently, most, if not all, of the teachers) are anti-Conservative/Evangelical/American. They have assemblies which are (using a mitigated word) pro-choice. No need to say more. I am annoyed and fed-up. It is also kind of famous as the second oldest school in Ontario and it is the school some prominent Canadians (who really aren…t prominent) went to. The school is also known for good academics (ahem좰many Chinese students (¨stereotype! stereotype!〃)), but I don…t see anything outstanding about it. Though many students say they love LCI, I don…t because it is too liberal (unfortunately, most schools in Canada are like that). Many teachers teach liberal things and many students talk Liberalish. (I bet a googol dollars that I am the most (and only?) truly evangelical conservative student there.) I argued with other students on evolution, why murder is wrong, etc. It is a rather good place to build up your debating skills and to learn how bad the world is if you…re a Christian.

Some other random facts about me: 4-time National Finalist in the Canadian Music Competitions in Piano Solo; winning 2nd Prize twice, performance broadcast numerous times on local TV, Kiwanis Music Festival things. I play piano good (grammar people: ¨well!〃 Well, I know I should use ¨well〃, so here goes: ¨I play piano well.〃), violin (for school) not well, and French Horn (for grade 7 and 8) even poorer still. I and my sister played Tetris for SNES before and things in N64 but we (including our parents) are so busy that we don…t have time to do much and anyways, the monitor is currently in some other use. There was one of my webpage rants.

My favourite좰

Book: The Bible

Country: The United States

Food: Hard to say - Authentic Chinese Food (Frog legs, Snake Soup, Fish Stomach Soup, Peking Duck, Shredded Pig Ears, Cuttlefish, Octopus, Shark Fin Soup etc.), some things with Indian curry, Japanese sushi with good-quality wasabi almost saturated in soy sauce (generally any spicy food), salmon (the type used in sushi), my mom…s cooking, etc.

Music: Classical Music ONLY. (Some Folkdances ex. Romanian folkdances recorded by Bartòk count as Classical Music, as well as Hungarian Folkdances by Brahms etc.) Jazz is okay. Pop Music is ¨euh!〃 (In grade six, I was forced to carpool (¨vanpool〃) to school and the driver played loud pop music, and I think he damaged my ears permanently - at that time, I frequently heard ringing sounds in my ears in school.) ¨Music〃 with bad things좰NO WAY.

I like좰

Baroque Music: Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, etc.

Classical Music: Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, etc.

Romantic (not ¨Romance〃) Music: Chopin, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Granados, De Falla, Liszt, Wagner, Brahms, Dvořák, etc a lot etc like insane etc.

Impressionist Music: DEBUSSY, etc.

Modern (not ¨Pop〃) Music: Messiaen, Stravinsky, etc.

Paintings:

Paintings by people like Bougereau, Cole, Van Gogh, Vermeer, Rembrandt, etc. NOT people like Rothko, Pollock, and things like ¨Voice of Fire〃, and sad things like ¨Yellow and Pink〃. Those are just TOO sad.

Hobbies

좵 Sleeping when I…m tired. (Eating when I…m hungry? Drinking (normal things) when I…m thirsty?)

좵 Playing the piano (for my own pleasure and for God). Some of you might go: ¨WHAT? How do you do that?〃 Well, I play with my sister, who plays violin, and we often play for our church…s offertory to serve God in our church.

좵 Talking with my dad about the spiritual war in America; learning ethics.

좵 Doing things with Christians (aka fellowship). I…m not very good at that. Actually, that might not be a hobby but it should be.

좵 Arguing with liberal non-Christians at school.

좵 Staring at information. (I look at maps too much - I could draw the US (and some other countries) and label every state and capital and large city and know things like EV and land area and stupid things nobody wants to know about (which makes my dad say that I should do that stuff when I grow up or something).)

좵 Things that should be hobbies - praying, reading the Bible좰I don…t do some things enough.

좵 Reading some good books.

좵 Wasting time, which is not a good thing.

좵 I used to play computer games and some video games but now I like them a lot less than the average teenager (and rarely play).

Friend: Jesus (I need to work on making that stronger.)

I like좰

Basically, all of America except: the downtowns of major cities in the South, most west-coast cities, a casino resort-city in a desert, a large metropolitan area stretching north to south located on a peninsula near the tropics, the city which is next to Windsor, Ontario (which I don…t like too much either), cheaters in some states near western Ontario (Wisconsin should be Republican - too many cheaters), a city on Lake Erie in a state worth 20 electoral votes, two large cities (namely ¨city of brotherly love〃 and ¨cavity〃 + s + burger w/o the ‥er…), a line of cities stretching across MA all the way to VA, a city (namely ¨nickname-of-director/executive-in-a-company〃 + ¨1000 kg〃), a city (namely ¨spherical-object-used-in-many-sports〃 + ¨short-for-Timothy〃 + antonym for ¨less〃), Milwaukee and something SSE of it좰etc.

Basically, none of Canada except British Columbia not including the Victoria and Vancouver area and the area around the north-west, many Albertans, some Saskatchewans, some Manitobans, a few Ontarians, an extremely few Maritimers, the few fed-up Quebecers좰

Basically, none of Western Europe except the REAL Christians (most of whom are fed-up and really annoyed).

I have a scheme in my head for all Christian Europeans to move to Penn state to turn it into a red state - that would ruin those Dem*****s… spirit, and it would make it harder for them to win the election! Or else they could move to the already red states to strengthen the vote and to make the states worth more. For example, French Christians could move to Des Moines or Baton Rouge to make it more conservative. (Let…s see좰4% of France goes to church. That makes around 3 million Christians in France.) If you move all of them to Iowa, you…d double the population and make it turn from 7 seats to 11. (Then again, it would take a long time to make so many jobs and houses좰) Or, you could get all the German Christians (4% of 80 million = 3.2 million) and move them to Milwaukee. Wisconsin would become red and it would be worth 15, not 11. (OR! You could move all the Chinese Christians from China to California! California would then have more than 100 million people! What would it be worth? 140? Haha.)

Many Africans and Asians and Arabs risking their lives.

You get the point.

Some of my Blessings (actually, a meager few)

Some of these you would take for granted but I…ll list them anyways because there are people who don…t have some of these things. Also, if I were to have a complete list, I think that would take a too long a time to compile so, obviously, I won…t take that much time, and, obviously again, this list will be far from complete. Another thing to note is that God gave me everything (and he owns everything I own including me, if I even ‥own… myself).

I have my ¨daily bread〃- I have food, water, and shelter. (Some of you would include space but I don…t think it is an absolute necessity. Some people in some places live in cramped spaces. It is necessary if you…re talking about the space everyone exists in because if there wasn…t any, there would only be a vacuum and nothing would exist.)

I can see, hear, talk, taste, touch, walk/run (without becoming short of breath for at least a while), use my hands normally, take care of myself, and do many other things.

I have talents (ex. piano) that God has given me.

I have many friends. (If I make a list, it would be too long and I might forget some people.)

I was born in Canada (there is a long story involved in why I was born in here). Canada is wealthy and very few (if any) people are dying in starvation. (Even the beggars here are rich - I frequently see smoking beggars in downtown, which is really stupid because that…s how some of them squander the money they…re given. There are many shelters around, many soup kitchens, and tons of welfare (for people who need it AND for lazy able-bodied people who don…t even do one bit of work even if they could). I am blessed to live here. Another blessing from living in Canada is that I am literate (and computer-literate). Many people around the world are not literate (and would definitely not be computer-literate either). Also, 20% of Canadians go to church at least once a week (double the world wide rate, estimated at 10%).

(Another rant: There are so many criminals, right? Well, I believe in the death penalty for murder (murder is ¨killing another person〃 but that doesn…t mean ¨killing another person for self-defence and if you didn…t do it you would have died and there was no way to avoid killing the person without dying yourself〃). Anyways, there are also many innocent poor people who work and do everything they…re supposed to do, right? Well, there are some so-called ¨luxury prisons〃 where the murderers are able to demand (and they get their demands) to go horse-riding, to eat gourmet dishes, and to do whatever. Those murderers cost us (taxpayers) money to maintain (keep them alive and happy) and anyways, those murderers live better lives than innocent, poor, hard-working people. SOOO STUPID!)

Another thing about Canada: I (nor my family nor other true Christians) am not being physically persecuted for my faith. I said ¨physically〃 because it is true. We are not being persecuted ¨physically〃, but the truth is that Christians are being persecuted EVERYWHERE (with the exception of St. Paul…s Basilica?). Yes, here in Canada, and in Europe, and wherever else, we are being persecuted invisibly by corrupt and biased media, corrupt governments (thank God they are not all too bad, and some are even partially good, like the U.S.), corrupt/anti-Christian organizations, and many other instruments of Satan. I said ¨invisibly〃 because, as you know, when you say to the media (although I know nobody could say this anyways), ¨You are persecuting my faith〃, they simply shout you down with things like ¨We…re not persecuting you, (unsaid) Jesus freaks!〃 or ¨We are Christians just like you! How then are you saying that we persecute Christians?〃 (However, they are not true Christians.) This is the world.

I have a computer and a word-processing program to write (type) all these things down.

I was born into a supportive Christian family and I am Christian (only Christians would understand why this is a blessing).

As you can see, I am extremely blessed by God and if I were to continue, I would run out of space.

Why Am I Conservative (aka Republican etc)?

First of all, you have to define the word ¨conservative〃. Here are some definitions.

Adjective. Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change.

Hmm좰well, we have to define ¨change〃. It seems very much today that ¨change〃 means ¨changing the law〃 or ¨changing things for change…s sake〃 (and usually the change is worse) etc. I think (know) that the law is not relative and therefore cannot be changed, and changing things so that they become worse just for change…s sake is STUPID.

A brilliant example of this is the change in the interior design of the buses used in the OC (Ottawa-Carleton) Transpo mass transit system in Ottawa. The buses being produced a decade ago had 40 or so seats and enough space for 50 to stand (and there was leg space). The buses being produced now have seats for 20, standing space for 20, and no toe space (if you sat in those seats which face each other, your toes would squish into the toes of the people facing you - and AWFUL design).

So좰I guess I am conservative (in this respect).

Noun. A supporter of political conservatism.

Oh, THIS one! Well, 50 or so years ago, the term ¨political conservatism〃 did not have the same meaning as it does today. (Reagan changed that.) So was the term ¨political liberalism〃. So, 50 or so years ago, these words had very different meanings from what they mean today. Today, conservatism means things such as ¨REAL marriage (which is man and woman) which lasts long, with children〃 and ¨prolife〃 (aka let the baby live) and, generally, at least in America, ¨sincere, evangelical, reformed, social, conservative, Christians〃 (from the pResBYteRian? Rev. Tristan Emmanuel…s CD-track, ¨Christophobia〃). Today, liberalism generally means, at least in America, things such as abortion (aka murder the baby), euthanasia (aka murder), pro-choice (aka murder), mainstream (aka anti-Christian), PC (aka anti-Christian), anti-Christian, being nice (help the terrorists), BLAH!

Well, from all these points made above, as an EVANGELICAL, it makes A LOT OF SENSE that I am conservative.

Why Am I Christian?

My parents had a major part in this. First of all, they are pro-life so that…s why I…m alive and breathing this minute. Secondly, my parents were real Christians before they married, and so I went to church with them at a young age, went to Sunday School, and listened to pastors. I was only a child at that time so I didn…t realize many things about being a Christian. (Now I understand a lot more about those things.) I still have a LOT of spiritual growth to do in my life (as does every Christian). I…m going off track. Anyways, I became a Christian because I believe/d I was-am sinful and that only Jesus could wipe my ‥resumé of sin… clean forever. So I believed and I…m a Christian. I believe, first of all, because I believe that Jesus died on the cross to take away my (and everybody-who-accepts-His-gift-of-salvation+…s) sins and I accept it (also because it is logical to accept a gift if not accepting it leads to death).

Here goes one of my webpage rants (I don…t rant when I talk to others but I am doing it right now only because I…m the only person ¨talking〃 here). One logical thing about not being atheist: this is by Blaise Pascal, a Christian (some of you will say, ¨Well, I…m not gonna listen to a Christian.〃 But it IS logical.) French Philosopher in the 17th century. He said something like this (I…m paraphrasing it):

If there is no God, then to not believe in God would do nothing (you…ll win the argument and die). If there is no God, then to believe in a God would do nothing (during your life, you have hope; you lose the argument and die). If there IS God, and if you do not believe in God, something ‥bad… may happen. If there IS God, and you DO believe in God, then you…ll have hope during your life, it turns out that you won the argument, and you don…t die!

This is from his book of his thoughts, Pensées (which means ¨thoughts〃 in French).

The simple answer to the question (why am I a Christian) is: I just chose to accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. That…s all.

If any of the people reading this webpage are like me and agree with the things I have written on this webpage, please email me (pengi@rogers.com) if you want your name posted up somewhere on this webpage. I just want to know if there is anybody on earth who thinks like me, especially teenagers, who are the least likely to think like me. I know that it is highly unlikely that I will receive any emails. I also know that almost all of the people who might email me are Americans.
